What's better than cheese? When it's paired with CHOCOLATE!  These two decadent Cs will both be at the All You Can Eat Chocolate event that benefits the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.  Featuring chocolate tastings from Atlanta’s finest pastry chefs, FUZE® specialty drink tasting, a chocolate lager tasting, a chocolate cappuccino tasting, two live bands, a full dinner buffet, silent auction, cash bar and complimentary valet parking, we'll also be there supporting the event.  Sampling our signature Aztec Cheddar, we'll be there on Thursday, June 17 at Villa Christina in Atlanta. Check out their website for more details!

Thanks to Miss Know It All's blog post about all of the cheese that she got down at the Dairy this past week! It sounds like a lovely wine and cheese to us!

Some of the cheeses that she talked about include the Drunken Deer, Low Country Gouda and Uneenodae.  The Uneenodae recently wone the Best of Class in Surface (Mold) Ripened Mixed Milk Cheese category at the recent World Championship Cheese Contest.

 




We wanted to share some fun dairy photos with you!

That special woman in your life deserves some fun this weekend! We've got ideas abound from the Lodge and our imaginations on ways to treat Mom this year!

Take Mom to a Gourmet Meal: If your mom is anything like ours, she loves coming up with tasty treats to tickle our bellies.  Hanging out in the kitchen she indeed enjoys (and even moreso when Dad helps out!) but Mother's Day is a time to trade places and think of her!  Making a reservation early is the key to a flawless day.  Since it's the busiest time of the year for restaurants, the key is to book early, especially if you've got a large group. Think about what her favorite food may be, or what the one thing is that she loves having but always gets outvoted!  May 9th will be the day to treat her.

at the Lodge - Mother's Day Brunch on Sunday, May 9 in Swainsboro, Georgia.

Relaxing Treat for Mom: Running around all day, moms rarely get a quiet moment for themselves.  A spa inspired gift basket could be the ticket.  Gather some of her favorite luxe soaps, a plush robe and aromatherapy candles to present to mom.

at the Lodge - Live nearby or feel like a road trip? We have ample Spa Services that are sure to delight Mom, including delights like Hot Stone Massage or Signature Facials.  With advance notice we can also do treatments in tandem for mother/daughter or couples too.

Take Mom on a Picnic: Does mom enjoy the great outdoors?  Pack a portable meal, a blanket, a fun game or two and take her out for some family time amongst the trees!

at the Lodge - Pack some of our award-winning cheese as a appetizer or ingredient in your picnic pack!

Photos with Mom: Sweet memories of her flock are the ticket to mom's heart, and photos are essential to capturing each and every one of them.  Grab your memory card and camera and have mom say 'cheese!' Don't forget to pack a tripod so you'll be able to get a shot with the entire gang.

at the Lodge - Our 2000 acre space is stocked with breathtaking moments. 

Let Mom Get Away From it All:  Though she may just have a few minutes to herself each day, mom would love an entire weekend getaway filled with moments to herself!  Take a roadtrip or find a great travel deal to give her a sweet escape. 

at the Lodge - Spring Fling discounted travel package good through May 29, 2010.


Wishing you a Happy Mother's Day to all you Moms out there!
